Speaker: Marianne Camerer, Director of the Global Integrity Report, Center for Public Integrity

While corruption is notoriously hard to measure, it is possible to track the laws, practices and systems that prevent abuses of power and promote public integrity. The Public Integrity Index measures the strength and weakness of integrity systems by looking at the existence and effectiveness of mechanisms that deter corruption and hold government accountable. As a diagnostic, rather than shaming tool, the index and accompanying report provide both context and depth to operationalizing anti-corruption reforms. Marianne Camerer is the Director of the Global Integrity Report. She has previously worked for the UN Global Program Against Corruption, the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, and Transparency International and has been an expert witness in several high-profile corruption cases.
